“When it comes to climate, academic scientists are jigsaw types, dissenters from their view house-of-cards-ists.”(The Economist). Same article -“People often assume that data are simple, graspable and trustworthy, whereas the theory is complex, recondite and slippery, and so give the former priority. In the case of climate change, as in much of science, the reverse is at least as fair a picture. Data are vexatious; the theory is quite straightforward.”
